我還在跑藝文新聞時，有次與某個影展策展人閒聊，隨口問她是否有欣賞的影片工作者，「徐童」這個名字立刻從她嘴裡迸出，並稱讚這位中國導演的處女作《麥收》非常好看。她認為這部以性工作者為主角的紀錄片，「巧設⋯⋯
Behind the Chinese Communist Party’s aggressive rhetoric and military intimidation toward the free world lies a darker truth—one that is hidden beneath the polished image of national “rise” under Xi Jinping’s leadership. In this heavily surveilled state behind a modern-day iron curtain, the people themselves have become mere stepping stones in the dictator’s grand imperial fantasy. It’s not only the marginalized who are oppressed, but anyone who dares to long for their inalienable rights—for freedom, dignity, and truth. Giloo presents a selection of independent documentaries from China, guiding you into a reality both dazzling and dark. Inside the borders built by walls, beware the quiet yearning of the soul—for freedom cannot be killed, only contained.
A single grain of rice nourishes a hundred kinds of people—though rooted in Asia, each land holds its own distinct character. Giloo presents ten handpicked documentaries on customs and religions, journeying from East Asia to Central Asia to reveal the countless faces of this vast continent.
Faith is a dwelling place of the heart—a quiet sense of belonging, of ease, of return. Do you believe the world is kind to you today? Have you ever wondered why you were born into this world? As a part of nature, of all living things—where do you stand?
